Kids activities are programs, gatherings, social events or pursuits that provide children with the mental, physical, and emotional stimulation needed to help them succeed in every aspect of their life.
In addition to the stimulation aspect, the mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing of children is also connected with how often they participate in activites of all kinds. http://kidshealth.org/teen/school_jobs/school/involved_school.html
